In the present automotive industry, different types of sensors are being used in areas ranging from engine performance, vehicle security to passenger safety and security in order to provide comfortable and convenient vehicle behavior. The demand for sensors is continuously growing in diverse automotive applications such as: safety and control, powertrain, body electronics, vehicle security system, alternative fuel, telematics and many others evolving and is continuously growing. The Automotive Sensor Market is triggered due to a lot of factors. For automotive sensor market, worldwide vehicle production, technology developments, customer taste and government mandates are acting as a driver whereas, pricing issues, high expectations from automotive OEM and no availability of aftermarket are acting as a restraints. The increasing demand of Advance Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and hybrid and electric vehicle are the future opportunities for automotive sensors.

The global Automotive Sensor Market by revenue is estimated to reach $35.78 Billion in 2022 at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2014 to 2022.

This report also covers the detailed classification of Overall Automotive Sensor Market on the basis of different product types, applications and geographies. Each sub-segment is given with extensive analysis, market size estimates, and revenue forecasts from 2014 to 2022. Detailed value chain analysis and porter's five forces analysis is also given in this report. The major product types mentioned in the report includes, temperature sensors, speed sensors, pressure sensors, oxygen sensor, MEMS sensors, magnetic sensors, inertial sensors, level/position sensors, Nox (Nitrogen Oxide) sensor, and others. The report also includes main application areas of sensors in automotives, namely, powertrain, safety and control, telematics, vehicle security system, alternative fuel, body electronics, and others. Market by geography consists of four major regions: Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. The market is also segmented on the basis of major countries such as the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, Japan, China, India, Australia and many others.

The adaptation of MEMS technology could be a winning imperative in the automotive sensor market. In addition, government is also playing a significant role in the growthof the global automotive sensor market. For instance, environmental regulations in Europe tend to limit pollution caused by road vehicles. These regulations require more complex and additional systems which results in more electronic content.Government of the U.S. has also made passengers airbags and side airbags compulsory which again will drive the pressure sensor market further. Although, the safety regulations have provided significant sensor growth, environmental regulations have been a strong driver for the growth of the automotive sensor market worldwide.These steps from government have stimulated growth in the vehicle security industry and applications such as; antilock braking system, central locking system and the ones in comfort and convenience. Powertrain sensor is an emerging application for Asia-Pacific region and is expected to show a promising growth in coming future.

The automotive markets in countries such as; China and India require regulations to be mandated for the installation of TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems) and such regulations are expected to surge the demand for automotive sensors in the near future. Emission control sensor demand will also grow due to increasing restrictive emissions regulations and the subsequent need for new sensor systems. Other sensors such as; ultrasonic, image, laser, and radar sensors, are about to enter the automotive sensor market on the large scale. Hence, because of all these technology developments, government and environmental regulationsand emerging automotive applications for sensors, the global automotive sensor market is certainly going to grow at a faster pace in the coming future.
